About Rachel Goldberg, LMFT – Therapy for Eating Disorders, Infertility, and Third-Party Reproduction

Hi, I’m Rachel Goldberg. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C). I specialize in therapy for eating disorders, infertility and IVF stress, postpartum mental health, and third-party reproduction. I also conduct psychological evaluations for egg donors, sperm donors, gestational carriers, and intended parents across California, Oregon, and Florida.

Before becoming a therapist, I was a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. It all started back at UCLA, where I taught fitness classes during college (step aerobics was my favorite—RIP). I went on to become a certified perinatal fitness trainer and spent years helping people stay strong through pregnancy and postpartum. That experience taught me how deeply physical and emotional wellness are connected and eventually led me to pursue psychotherapy.

While studying psychology at UCLA, I worked in an eating disorder research lab focused on treatment strategies for disordered eating and body image. I earned my Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy from USC and began my career in New York City. For over a decade, I worked with clients facing eating disorders, infertility, anxiety, postpartum depression, and relationship challenges.

I now see clients both virtually and in person at my Studio City office, offering therapy across California, Oregon, and Florida.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, real, and never one size fits all. Whether you’re navigating IVF, feeling stuck in disordered eating, recovering after pregnancy loss, or working through family or partner conflict, I meet you where you are. Together, we’ll find the path that makes sense for your life and move toward healing.

A few things about me: I’m a mom of two and passionate about movement and fitness. I’m a writer and regular contributor to outlets like Parents, Verywell Mind, and Women’s Health. I’ve also worked as a sign language interpreter and once ran a stock trading education site. I believe people are allowed to be complex and bring all parts of themselves into the therapy room.

If you’re looking for a therapist who truly understands the emotional weight of eating disorders, infertility, and postpartum transitions, or the high-stakes decisions involved in third-party reproduction, I’m here to help.
